Background
After the success of "Physics", Beetle decided to continue his music adventure. He signed with meme rap label Flex Entertainment on December 29, 2019. He acquired a beat from MALU in January 2020. He wrote the hook in a few minutes. The song was suppose to be released at the end of the month but was delayed due to the musician's own laziness. Throughout the six month period, he barely made any progress on the song. The 2020 coronavirus pandemic gave him time to work on music with school work being lessened. He finally returned to the song in May. Throughout the end of the month, he recorded and produced the entire song. On June 4, he put the word "Tomorrow" on his Snapchat story, confirming its release on June 5.

The song was performed at both Flex Fest 2020 and Flex Fest 2022.

Composition
"On The Regular" is a R&B/Hip hop song with a chill vibe to it. There are some silly lines in the song that Beetle calls "comedy." The first verse is mainly flexing and the second verse is about struggles. The entire song is about making music regularly with his label.

Lyrics
[Chorus] What it do, what it be Used to hang out on the Wii Now we all up in the club, never thought that we would see Girls calling my cellular Making cash rectangular Now we making all this music on the regular

[Verse 1] Riding around with the whole team Everyone knows that we got a dream All my doubters trying to chill and hang But I’m too busy rocking with the flex gang Pull up in a tesla DJ Khaled, we the best ya Hundreds in my bank now Post Malone gonna say wow Head to the back and fill my cup If I got to pull up, better tell me what’s up Straight to the point We going straight to the joint Me and the boys, we never disappoint

[Chorus] What it do, what it be Used to hang out on the Wii Now we all up in the club, never thought that we would see Girls calling my cellular Making cash rectangular Now we making all this music on the regular

[Verse 2] All of the stress that’s around me I just want to be what I want to be The world’s falling apart and I wanna live I don’t even care what I got to give Been through all the rough times Just avoiding all those dumb crimes Because now I want to fix myself Set the old me on that wooden shelf Ignoring an hater I’ll see you later Like Floyd I’m unstoppable Quitting is only optional The peep army is phenomenal Trust me I ain’t done I’m just having a little fun There’s still more truth left to find But I got a goal in mind Make this music for my fans Dropping all my other plans Grind to the top and get a hit 2020 is my year and I’mma make sure of it

[Chorus] What it do, what it be Used to hang out on the Wii Now we all up in the club, never thought that we would see Girls calling my cellular Making cash rectangular Now we making all this music on the regular
